Gents I'm a newbie with Tex and ConTeXt but enjoying myself so far. Everything is working very smoothly except for one single issue; I want to right-align a block of text, e.g. have the text left-aligned but the block right aligned. An ascii example would be; | | | Some text | | More text | | Even more text | I've tried various context structures .. frames etc and I've also tried \hboxes and \vboxes but the best I can do is to specify the distance between the text and the right margin. I want something that will stretch to keep all the text on the page with just the longest line hitting touching the right margin. I need this 'box' to contain several paragraphs. I expect that there is a Plain TeX solution but I'm hoping there will be an even easier ConTeXt solution. thanks Andrew ===== Andrew Lawson andrew@absentis.com www.absentis.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Would indenting the left margin do this? If so, look at \startnarrower and \stopnarrower, and see the examples under "Indenting" at: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html -Bill -- Sattre Press Curiosities of the Sky http://sattre-press.com/ by Garrett Serviss info@sattre-press.com http://csky.sattre-press.com/

I can't take credit for the following clever snippet of code: \startalignment[left] \noindent\framed [width=fit,align=right,frame=off] {Some text\\More text\\Even more text} \stopalignment
